where to go
Zimbabwe, a land of legendary natural wonders, rich ancient history, and unparalleled wildlife encounters, promises an authentic and deeply inspiring African adventure. From the thunderous majesty of Victoria Falls to vast, untamed national parks and ancient stone cities, Zimbabwe offers a journey into the continent’s soul.
Victoria Falls
Dive into the heart of Africa’s adventure capital, where the Zambezi plunges into a 108-meter abyss, creating the thunderous "Smoke That Thunders." From the adrenaline of Class V white-water rafting and bungee jumping to the serenity of a sunset cruise past bathing elephants, Victoria Falls is where raw power meets pure magic. As night falls, sip a sundowner under a canopy of stars, letting the distant roar of the falls provide the ultimate soundtrack to your escape.

Hwange National Park
Zimbabwe’s answer to the Serengeti, Hwange is a wilderness of golden grasslands and ancient teak forests, where 40,000 elephants roam alongside lions, wild dogs, and buffalo. Unlike crowded East African parks, Hwange offers exclusive, raw safari experiences—think guided walks, hidden waterhole hides, and nights spent listening to the symphony of the bush.

Mana Pools
Imagine walking through an untouched Eden, where elephants stretch for acacia pods and lions laze under winterthorn trees. This is Mana Pools, a UNESCO-listed wilderness where safaris are on foot, offering a connection to nature you’ll find nowhere else. Sleep under the stars on the banks of the Zambezi, with hippos grunting in the distance.

Great Zimbabwe & The Eastern Highlands
Step into the shadows of an ancient empire at Great Zimbabwe, a towering stone city built 900 years ago—long before European colonizers arrived. Further east, the Eastern Highlands unfold in emerald peaks, waterfalls, and misty tea plantations. Hike Nyanga’s mountains, trout-fish in crystal streams, or sip coffee in a colonial-era lodge.

frequently asked questions
Zimbabwe offers several less-traveled but equally rewarding destinations such as Chizarira National Park, Bvumba (Vumba) Mountains, Mount Selinda / Chirinda Forest, Nyanga National Park and the Chinhoyi Caves.
Expect robust custom-built overland trucks for long-haul travel, often with pop-up roofs and large windows for comfort and views. On game drives in tight terrain (e.g., Mana Pools), smaller 4×4 Land Cruisers or Land Rovers are used for better maneuverability
Yes. Overland operators often adjust itineraries for safety, weather, or unforeseen local events. Routes may change abruptly—operators stay connected with campsite managers and local contacts to respond quickly
On camping tours—pitching tents, washing dishes, and tent-take-down are shared tasks. Guides and assistants manage most logistics, but participation fosters camaraderie.
Yes to both! Independent adventurers can enjoy trekking, wildlife, and scenic variety and mature travellers can experience historic Rovos Rail journeys through Hwange and to Victoria Falls.
Zimbabwe is generally safe for guided groups, but certain areas (e.g., Chizarira) are very remote with limited cellular coverage and basic medical access. Insurance that includes emergency evacuation is vital.
Expect limited electricity and intermittent mobile data in rural national parks. Bring power banks, solar chargers, and extra SIMs/eSIMs. Campsites occasionally offer basic electricity, but overlanders rely on self-sufficient charging setups.
